The BrikWars Forums

This is an excellent set to expand your building brick collection, and it's white/blue and has a baseplate. Comes with some great fiddly bits.


This set has great pieces for Brikwars, and has essential grey bricks for building.

Of course, in ship building, theirs always the Star Wars route. I would save up for a while and buy this bad boy myself.

If you can find a Lego store near where you live, you can possibly get quite a few sets 50% off. Last I was at mine, all Prince of Persia sets, some Town sets, and some other ones had this discount. ^_^

I personally recommend the MIDI-scale Star Destroyer (If its price is still cut). For twenty dollars, you get about four-hundred pieces. It's very helpful for space building.

Star Wars battlepacks are a bit pricey, but it's a good source for minifigures. However, these just have to be customized some; regular clone armies are boring!

Alternatively, Pick-A-Brick BrickLink are great options if you are planning specific projects in advance. You can use LDD to plan something, then buy the pieces on the Lego site or Bricklink (Never buy from LDD, Pick-A-Brick is 60% cheaper). Bricklink tends to be the most affordable way, but you have to make sure the store you're buying from is proven reliable.

NEVER BUY SETS! or you will be spending a shitload of money and getting very little. If you live near a lego store, pick-brick is the way to go. If you have the time, go to garage sales, and as a last resort or if you want something NOW! then bricklink it.

Piltogg, you've actually found Lego at garage sales? All I've ever seen is giant, overpriced Technic stuff, and a few bricks in free bins.

BrikSaber, if your colors are gray and tan, PAB sells plain gray torsos and tan pants for cheap, and if you build a fig like that out of PAB parts, they should only cost a bit over $2 each.

I can not speak for Piltogg but I have found some a few times at yard sales. I have also found a few good deals on Craigs list, but that is a mixed bag as there are also a lot of folks who have hyper inflated ideas of what their junk is worth.

So far, for me, the best bet for the money has been Bricklink.

Don't buy things for only one army. What fun is it to have a gigantic army if they can't fight against anyone?

Yeah, I've got that problem but I just assemble a rabble and have them kill each other.

Brik: bricklink is your best choice if you can see what you want to build, otherwise go with small sets with lots of parts for their price and get your minifigs from bricklink as body parts. It lest you get a whole custom army that doesn't look like everyone else's

I've got this triumvirate thing going on, with the Brikians, Castle figs, and friendly space figs (Assyrians, DSM, yellow star wars guys) on one end, and Dr. Oglethrope and his two evil twins on the other.

Notice anything similar?

Still have to acquire the castle guy, its either 15 bucks for him alone or buy the set he's in for eighty.

I'd say the wizard is the grandpa, Ogel is the dad and the cyborg is the son.

Evil runs in the family!

I was half expecting Rick Astley and half expecting Belville... Scout for sets you want and get them online and save the VIPoints for battle packs to get in the future with a larger order (so you're not paying extra P&P)

Well thanks Nat. Peaches aren't really an issue with me though. I mean, peach exterminators have to fight somebody, right? I was concentrating on the briks, myself.

No, those links are all valid. Theres another great set, comes with a good portion of non-peach minifigs for civilian purposes here. http://shop.lego.com/ByTheme/Product.as ... =115&d=403

When did they update that set?, nice try on a RickRoll though.

I don't really know, it's been around forever. But it is good for civilians.

And thank you. derp.
